The Rant: SI's Ray Lewis accusation doesn't hold water

For players, participating in the Super Bowl must be a lot like running for political office. Members of the media “dig” up information on players, print the information and other press ask the player about it. Seems crazy to me.

A story in Sports Illustrated links Baltimore’s Ray Lewis to a banned substance. The story says he used deer-antler velvet to increase recovery time after tearing his biceps. The man who was interviewed by SI says Lewis contacted the company and so he must have used the substance.

There is one minor problem: Lewis denies using the substance and has never failed a drug test. What makes SI’s story even more unbelievable is the fact Lewis faced these same allegations two years ago. There are enough drug cases out there without making one up.

Are you really that big of a fool? The banned substance only shows up in blood not urine. Lance also never failed a test and he was using, so don't listen to that "never failed a test" crap. SI has a recorded conversation with lewis ordering it from the supplier. What more do you want? Also this is 2013, save that nonsense about god helping him heal
